Holmenkollbakken Ski Jump | Oslo, Norway

THE HOLMENKOLLEN SKI JUMP TOWERS over the city of Oslo, and has played a vital part to the local community for around 120 years. The first ski jumping competition took place at this site in 1892, with 12,000 onlookers. In the early years of competition the jump was much more simple than nowadays, being composed of a natural hill with a takeoff ramp made from snow and tree branches.

Gradually, the jump was developed, growing taller through the years. The first major event to take place at the jump was the 1952 Winter Olympics, at which point the height of the tower truly took off. It was further updated following an architectural competition in 2011, and the tower is much unchanged since the winner’s construction was manufactured.
